Assessments
Participants will demonstrate/explain/identify their level of knowledge, skills and understanding through oral and/or written questioning and practical activities by our qualified facilitators.
Competency Based Assessment: Competency Assessment is the collection of evidence by the Registered Training Organisation (RTO) demonstrating that the trainee can perform to the standard expected in the workplace as expressed in the relevant endorsed industry competency standard. As a trainee on a competency based training course you will be required to be assessed by the method described on the front of this information flyer.
Complaints and Appeals: All trainees who find themselves deemed”Not Yet Competent” have the right to appeal that decision. All appeals shall be directed, in writing, to the General Manager, Accrete. The appeal must identify and provide evidence of one of the following:
- The judgement as to whether competence has been achieved and demonstrated was made incorrectly.
- The judgement was not made in accordance with the Assessment Plan.
Where there is no satisfactory solution, provision will be made for reassessment.
Where participants believe that they have been treated unfairly, unruly or unjust by any member of staff or contractor whilst attending an Accrete run course, or whilst having contact with Accrete, they should out their concerns in writing after initial consultation with the General Manager.
Alternatively, participants can register their complaints to the NT Department of Education and Training on 8999 5511 or to the National Training Complaints Hotline on 1800 000 674.
Cancellations and Refunds : Accrete will safeguard fees paid by customers in advance. Customers who have paid in advance for training will be entitled to a full refund in the event of withdrawing five working days prior to training. Those customers who withdraw from training less than five working days prior to the training will be given the opportunity to enroll on alternative dates.
Support Services: Should you have any difficulty understanding any assessment method you should approach your facilitator as soon as possible. If you have literacy or numeracy difficulties, then alternative assessment processes can be implemented.
Evidence of Prior Learning: Course participants may seek to have Accrete recognise prior learning (RPL). RPL allows for recognition of competencies currently held, regardless of how, when or where the learning occurred. Under the AQF, competencies may be attained in a number of ways. This includes through any combination of experience and/or general life experience.
Accrete will consider any request for RPL as long as the appropriate evidence of prior learning can be presented and that any legislated certification period has not been exceeded. A fee is chargeable for RPL applications.
